At Pun Pun they use ancient
natural building techniques with readily available, local, natural
materials with little embodied energy and salvaged materials to
make homes, a practical and affordable alternative to resource
intensive conventional building. "Before I thought
that stupid people like me … cannot have a house… because
people who are cleverer than me and get a job need to work
for 30 years to have a house. But for me, who cannot
finish university, how can I have a house. It's hopeless
for people who have low education like me. But when I
start to do earthen buildings, it's so easy! I spent two
hours per day… and in 3 months I have a house. A friend
who was the most clever in the class he has a house too
but he has to be in debt for 30 years, so compared to him
I have 29 years and 9 months of free time. I feel life is
so easy." "I want to be
equal to animals. The bird makes a nest in one or two days; the
rat digs a hole in one night, but clever humans like us spend 30
years to have a house... that's wrong." |
